This month's ingredients are Kiwi and Pineapple.  Let's take a look at what creations the others are serving up.......

Kiwi & Pineapple

• Kiwi Pineapple dream Cocktail by Cookaholic Wife
• Lebanese Fruit Cocktail with Ashta Cream by Pandemonium Noshery
• Grilled Pineapple & Kiwi With Fresh Fruit Vanilla Pudding by Sneha's Recipe
• Kiwi Pineapple Mojito by Our Good Life
• Grilled Mahi Mahi with Kiwi Pineapple Salsa by A Day in the Life on the Farm

That is a pretty great looking lineup.  I'm anxious to start browsing and coming up with some fresh ideas for these tropical fruits.






Many people think that kiwi is native to Australia but, in actuality, it was brought to Australia from China.  Cilantro, which we now associate mostly with Mexican food also originated in China and is often called Chinese Parsley.  


So once I created this salsa I wanted to pair it with Asian Flavors.  I had some Mahi Mahi in the freezer that I knew would be a perfect match to this salsa.  I marinated it for a few minutes in Teriyaki Sauce before grilling and basting with the additional Teriyaki.





I did not pair this dish with sake but with a Vinho Verde from Portugal.  Portugal and China have a long history.  In fact, Portugal held the Macau region of China from 1557 until 1999.  This wine was a perfect match for the Asian/Tropical fusion of this American dinner that I rounded out with grilled redskin potatoes and grilled asparagus.
